MUSIC LESSONS
Voice and Piano lessons are available at South and Cedar Creek Locations. Choirs and Vocal Ensembles meet at Greenleaf South.
Our priority is instilling students with a love for music and the tools to succeed!
- Our piano, voice, and guitar teachers emphasize healthy technique and work with all students on ear-training, sight reading, and music theory.
- Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend their child’s lessons so they can help their student practice at home.
- We host two recitals each school year term so that students can gain performance experience in a relaxed setting.
- Our choir directors teach singing technique, harmony, and vocal collaboration. Students are taught a diverse repertoire and have the opportunity to perform multiple times over the school year.
- We are passionate about worship and enjoying music as a gift from God!
Our school year session runs September-May, but you can enroll in private music lessons anytime!

Daleigh Kelly
Piano Instructor
Daleigh has taken piano lessons for 9 years and is increasingly grateful for the impact that music has had on her life. She loves how differently people can express themselves through music and strives to help her students do so. “It is always so exciting to teach someone who shares your same passion or to help along those less confident in their abilities. I look fondly upon my memories of taking piano lessons when I was younger and aim to make the same impact on my students.” She is eager to show them the beautiful freedom within the world of music.
As Claude Debussy put it, “I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth — an open-air art, boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea.”
